Form I-797: Types and Functions

USCIS uses numerous types of Form I-797 to communicate with customers or convey an immigration benefit.  Form I-797 is NOT a form you can fill out. The chart below gives a brief description of each:

Form Number	Description
I-797, Notice of Action	Issued when an application or petition is approved.
I-797A, Notice of Action	Issued to an applicant as a replacement Form I-94.
I-797B, Notice of Action	Issued for approval of an alien worker petition.
I-797C, Notice of Action	Issued to communicate receipt of payments, rejection of applications, transfer of files, fingerprint biometric, interview and re-scheduled appointments, and re-open cases.
I-797D	Accompanies benefit cards.
I-797E, Notice of Action	Issued to request evidence.
I-797F, Transportation Letter	Issued overseas to allow applicants to travel.

I797A vs -797B

• An I-797A is an original approval notice with the I-94 attached.
• An I-1797B is an original approval notice with no I-94 attached.

If you have received an I-797B, this means that the petition is approved, but the COS/Extension of Stay is not approved.

You would have to go back to your home country to get your visa stamped, and then re-enter the US.

Or if you are applied for H1B from outside the U.S.A, then USCIS would issue I-797B.

 

You can stay in the country until the date written on your most recent I-94. The date on the I-94 is what determines the expiration of your stay in the US.

I797A vs I797B vs I797C

Form I-797A: Is issued ONLY to people who are currently in the U.S. and are undergoing a change of status (F-1-H-1, H-1-H-1, l-1-H-1, etc.).

The “A” is for change of status approved, which means the applicant can continue to remain in the U.S. and work. Hence, I-797A will have an I-94 attached to it to endorse the status approved.

Form I-797B: Is issued to those who had never been to the U.S. or to those whose change of status cannot be approved.

This means that you are qualified for the job but your change of status cannot be approved. So you cannot stay and work in the U.S. for two reasons:

• You are NOT currently in the U.S.A.
• You may have committed an immigration violation; the documents submitted during filing did not provide enough evidence that you were legally employed at all times; you had never been out of status as a student, etc.

Hence, such applicants, if they’re still staying in the USA must leave and apply for visa at an American consulate.

The officer will determine if you are eligible for re-entry based on the evidence you’ll provide during the interview.

Form I-797C 

This is a copy of the approved petition. This is usually given to the employers for their reference file.

Hence, Forms I-797A or I-797B are given to applicants, while I-797C is given to employers.

For instance, if you didn’t receive the approval notice, then a copy of of the original will be provided.

Here’s additional reason why I-797c is issued:

Issued to communicate receipt of payments, rejection of applications, transfer of files, fingerprint biometric, interview and re-scheduled appointments, and re-open cases.
